Nope, salvage means it was deamed not worth repairing but someone did.

yes, but what if the value of the rims exceeded the value of the car, then it would be a total loss in the eyes of the insurance company. its acutally like a percentage of the value. like 80%?

 

don't think thats possible on an integra

 

Even if the rims were worth that much, the car owner would have gotten face value of the STOCK rims in the event of a theft. The insurance company does not cover aftermarket parts unless they are on the policy. If they are on the policy, it would raise the value of the car (oN THE POLICY), and the car wouldnt have been totalled.

 

rgr your better off buying it back from insurance at their rate and selling the rims if they are worth that much.

 

if the car was missing more than 30 days it can also recive a salvage certificate.

simply replace the wheels. Missing wheels don't make a car unusable. Mine were stolen and I'm fine.....pissed but fine.

Yes, simply replace the wheels, but i was just stating how a salvage title comes about.

 

yes, that is the fate of alot of s2000s, they get a salvage title just b/c of a cut roof and missing seats. may not seem like much but that about 10k worth of parts and labor at honda. bad for the owner, good for the people who buy at auctions...i guess

 

No to be salvaged it has to be damaged, wrecked or flooded vehicles.

 

Or stolen. But it also depends what state you live in. In Kansas, any vehicle theft will result in a salvaged title. I don't believe there is a stipulation on time, probably at least 24 hours. I had to file for a salvaged title and I had to read a lot about it. But it really depends on your state. And it's 75% of the vehicles value for total loss.

No, mine was salvaged because it cost insurance toomuch to repair compared to what it was worth. Nothing was damaged, just stolen and whole car scratched. So needed a paint job as well as parts.

 

well it's possible that the car was stolen and had it's rims jacked and left on the the floor without jack stands. Thus damaging the rotor, brakes and whatever else that might get damaged.

when a car is stolen it usually receive a "THEFT SALVAGE".

 

All of which falls under the salvage title because it costs more than its worth to fix. There are other forms of title to look for as well.
